"Okay, I'm not going to brag or boast. When I was young, I was able to penetrate the entire avenue alone. What will I tell others?" Zhang Xuan sneered.
"Junior brother Rongfang, you have also practiced the Yue type talisman now. I think you can't just nourish blood, right?"
His vision was not ordinary vicious, even Zhao Dacong could sense something was wrong. During the relationship, he even discovered Zhang Rongfang's hidden secret.
"I'm just an ordinary scholar... Even if I succeed in martial arts in the future, what will happen? I'm just hiding a little to protect myself, and it's not worth mentioning."
Zhang Rongfang did not deny that he did deliberately show some signs, but what he deliberately showed was just the level of muscle he had just strengthened.
After all, it is often difficult to hide how strong you are during sparring.
You can pretend to be out of breath, but your heartbeat and pulse, whether you are sweating, whether your skin is congested, these are all flaws.
"Barbarian Confucian? Hey, what does this mean? If your martial arts skills are high enough, the imperial court will also put you in high regard.
Nowadays, great spirits place more emphasis on martial arts than literature. Although martial arts training is difficult and not very good, you can't beat a few elite soldiers with your bare hands, but if you are a top expert, wearing armor and holding weapons, and charging on horseback, you can really be a vanguard general!"
Zhang Xintai smiled.
Immediately, he stopped talking nonsense, said goodbye to Zhang Xuan, and took Zhang Rongfang to the disciple room.
Moved his luggage to another room.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Zhang Rong was woken up by Zhang Xintai.
The two of them arrived at Zhang Xuan's attic again.
This stubborn old man had already completed a set of exercises and was waiting there in advance.
Seeing the two of them arriving late, he was not worried.
"Get up an hour earlier from now on."
"Yes." Zhang Rongfang immediately felt something different. He was at Xiao Rong's side, but no one cared what time he got up.
Xiao Rong is completely free to manage the sheep.
But it seems different here.
Before he could recover, Zhang Xuan had already turned around and walked towards the back door of the attic.
"Go, follow." Zhang Xintai pushed him and followed him.
Zhang Rongfang quickly followed.
The three of them came to the back of the attic.
The backyard is a separate space, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the area of the dojo. It is more than enough for a few people to practice martial arts.
Zhang Xuan was already standing in front of a weapons rack, looking at the two people with his hands behind his hands.
"You have chosen martial arts. Show me how to practice the Yue Shaping Talisman."
"yes."
Zhang Rongfang stepped forward, raised his hands, and began to practice the Yue Shaping Talisman meticulously.
Not long after, after finishing the thirty-two moves, he took a long breath, stopped his stance, and stood still.
"It's very smooth. There is no need to teach Yue Xingfu anymore." Zhang Xuan stepped forward suddenly and pinched Zhang Rongfang's arm very quickly.
"Here." He squeezed with one hand. The force was as strong as an eagle's claw, and he almost clawed out five holes in Zhang Rongfang's arm.
Instinctively, Zhang Rongfang felt a stinging sense of crisis coming towards him.
He quickly tried to break free.
The two of them collided with each other.
Zhang Xuan shook slightly, let go of his hand, and smiled on his face.
"Good boy, you are indeed exercising, it's interesting." He looked at Zhang Xintai beside him.
"He has been practicing martial arts for a year?"
"Almost." Zhang Xintai nodded.
"Okay!" Zhang Xuan slapped Zhang Rongfang hard on the back. "Such a good young talent, as expected, Xiao Rong is blind! Hahaha!"
He suddenly laughed heartily.
Zhou Ze is known as one level a year, and he also does muscle training in two years. Now Zhang Rongfang does it in one year, and his physical talent is obviously better than Zhou Ze's.
They have the top qualifications in the entire Qinghe Palace.
"It's a pity that my Taoist teachings are not strong in martial arts and focus on recuperation. With your qualifications, it is a pity to practice the Talisman of Rejuvenation and Pure Time...but..."
He changed his mind.
"But these days, living a long life is the last word. Martial arts only need to be able to protect one's body. Medical skills, cultivation, and connections are the key."
"What the master said is absolutely true." Zhang Rongfang's heart was pounding. He just suddenly attacked and saw him clearly.
Obviously, this new master is not as easy to fool as the previous Xiao Rong.
"Don't be afraid, since your Yue Shape Talisman has been perfected, the next step is to break through the limit in this direction and reach the top level."
"We are different from other sects in this entry level. Our Dao Dao teaches the Hui Chun Jing Shi Fu Dian. It is said to be a talisman. In fact, the first seven talismans are all martial arts, and the last five are medical skills."
"That is to say, the limit of our Taoism's martial arts and martial arts is the seventh level. If you break the limit with one talisman, you can advance one level. Seven kinds are the seventh level. This is the characteristic of our martial arts."
Zhang Rongfang was slightly startled. This was the first time he heard this statement.
Before he could ask, Zhang Xuan continued.
"But even these seventh levels are already extremely difficult. You must practice every talisman to perfection, and then use different talismans to break the limit again and again."
He smiled.
"And don't underestimate the fact that we can only reach the seventh level. As for this level, the gap becomes smaller as we get to the later stages. In fact, there is not much difference between the seventh level and the ninth level in terms of physical fitness, strength, and movement skills.
Many times, when you reach that level, the difference between strength and weakness is not in the number of limit-breaking martial arts, but in realm, tactics, strategies, and equipment."
"Disciple understands." Zhang Rongfang knew clearly in his heart that the gap in grades was not big. He had heard this statement in many places.
Now Zhang Xuan is just taking it to a high level.
"However, our Taoist religion has always valued peace and inaction over the tangible. Tenderness is the most important thing in all changes, so martial arts can be used to protect yourself. Don't use it to be competitive. No matter how strong your martial arts is, you can be stronger than others.
Crossbow?"
Zhang Xuan warned again.
Doesn't this mean that our martial arts are relatively weak, so when we go out, we should try not to do anything if we can.
Zhang Rongfang automatically translated the meaning in his mind.
"Okay, today, since you have perfected the Yue Shaping Talisman and you don't have to wait for your body to adapt to the moves, what do you want to practice for the next talisman?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Can anything be done?" Zhang Rongfang asked.
"For others, I would say that you have to take it step by step. But for you, you can make your own choice." Zhang Xuan nodded, pinched a few of his beards and narrowed his eyes.
"May I ask Master, which talisman in our martial arts is used to train the body?" Zhang Rongfang asked again.
"Yes, no matter where you are, if you practice your body skills well, you can at least run away if you can't defeat him." Zhang Xuan laughed again.
"When it comes to body skills, it must be the number one vitality talisman! With one breath of energy, you can practice it to the extreme. You can fly over eaves and walls in a short time, and jump nearly ten feet in one step!"
"Yi Qi Chao Yuan Chao Qi Talisman??" Zhang Rongfang has studied the Talisman Code for so long, so he naturally knows this first-class Talisman Technique.
According to the ranking of the seven talismans, the first one is actually the most difficult and the strongest.
"Okay, let me practice it again first." Zhang Xuan said solemnly.
"Yes, Master!" Zhang Rongfang was full of expectation, stepped back a few steps, and stared attentively.
"The so-called vitality talisman is the breath in the belly that is practiced. This breath is lifted, and the flesh and blood of the whole body work together. Through special practice methods, the body can be as light as a swallow and the strength can be enhanced.
The key to the strength of the vitality talisman lies in this breath. The depth and length of the breath will have a great impact on your subsequent actions."
After Zhang Xuan explained, he took a deep breath.
hiss.
For a moment, it seemed as if the entire backyard could feel the slight gathering of airflow.
Immediately, you can see his chest bulging high.
A little lower on your feet.
Zhang Xuan's figure immediately rushed forward.
His steps were not random, but carried a strange rhythm. He quickly made a large circle around Zhang Rongfang, then returned to the same place and stood still.
Exhale.
"Are you optimistic?"
"Watch it!" Zhang Rongfang nodded seriously.
"This is the Misty Smoke Step in the Vigor Talisman. It is also the key to practicing with it."

The practice of vitality talisman is more difficult than Zhang Rongfang imagined.
Every step has strict requirements on the strength of the steps. Prioritization, mental state, and the choice of the environment and ground are all important.
So in fact, the vitality talisman is a special talisman that must change with changes in the outside world.
However, Zhang Xuan was also very kind to him, teaching him step by step and correcting mistakes with bamboo sticks at any time.
For a whole morning, Zhang Xuan just practiced with him all morning.
I rested twice in the middle, had something to eat, and then continued again.
Under this kind of strict instruction, Zhang Rongfang obviously felt that he was becoming more and more proficient in grasping the vitality talisman.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.
Mountain behind Qinghe Palace. Night.
"Brother Wuyou, where are you?" Xiao Qingying whispered in the dark clothes drying yard in the back mountain.
At night, strange animals roar from time to time, making the entire back mountain look dark and mysterious.
Two days later, Xiao Qingying received a note from Chen Wuyou again.
This time, I asked her to meet in the back mountain.
Compared with the mountain gate last time, the back mountain is obviously much safer.
Xiao Qingying immediately asked Jiao Teng to let her out without thinking.
After being embarrassed for a while, Jiao Teng couldn't stand his plea and agreed anyway.
But the condition is that he must follow and not run around.
This makes Xiao Qingying feel that the elder brother is obviously much better than Zhang Rongfang.
Now that Senior Sister Zhao Dacong is forced to face the wall and recite sutras, Jiao Teng protects her every day.
I have to say, it is really good to have such a reasonable senior brother.
Xiao Qingying couldn't help but reveal a smile.
"Brother Wuyou? Are you here?" She called again.
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, Jiao Teng behind him said softly. "There seems to be someone over there." He was holding a lantern in his hand and pointed to a place on the right front with his other hand.
Xiao Qingying looked around and saw that the moonlight was dim, and she could only vaguely see a person standing there.
"Let's go over and have a look!" Without waiting for Jiao Teng's reply, she rushed over there immediately.
puff.
Before she ran a few steps, she suddenly felt a pain on the side of her neck, as if something had pricked her.
Soon she became dizzy and her body quickly became weak.
With a thud, she fell to the ground.
"Who...!? Who hit me??"
Xiao Qingying struggled to turn around, just in time to see Jiao Teng's cold and contemptuous eyes.
"you...."
"Have you brought everything? Junior Brother Wuyou." Jiao Teng no longer looked at her, but looked at the figure in front of him on the right.
"I told you, don't mention me!!" Chen Wuyou's voice came out with anger.
